And that’s not me, I’m just passing on what he told me…
When you change the oil, ALWAYS swap out the crush washer on the drain plug. People have a tendency to over-tighten the plug to get it to seal again, and that steel bolt in the aluminum case doesn’t take a lot to strip out… the case. Repairing that gets REALLY expensive. The crush washers are, what, $.50 max? Sounds like a cheaper alternative to me.
